Operation Protocol Of Soprolife - ACteon SOPROLIFE Manuel D'utilisation

OPERATION PROTOCOL OF SOPROLIFE IN
DIAGNOSIS AID MODE AND TREATMENT AID MODE
The Soprolife is used as an aid in the detection of caries. The light emitting diode (LED) lamps in the Soprolife
emit blue- light (In diagnosis aid mode and treatment aid mode) which causes healthy dentin to fluoresce with
a green color.
The optics and the charged coupled device (CCD) sensor in the Soprolife picks up the images containing this
fluorescence, highlights it and converts them to an video signal that is sent to a video monitor or computer
monitor. The result image can be used to aid the dental practitioner to perform diagnosis.
As an aid in the detection of caries, any color other than acid green, light green or blue displayed in the image
should direct the dental professional to examine that area using Gold Standard techniques. The Soprolife image
information together with results of visual Gold Standard examination and X-ray image inspections can be used
to identify any caries and to formulate an appropriate treatment plan.
NOTE:
The Soprolife is an aid in the detection of caries by providing additional information to supplement the
dentist's visual observations, patient history, and information from other diagnostic techniques, resulting in
an overall treatment determination. The Soprolife does not provide a diagnosis. Diagnosis subsequent to the
use of the Soprolife is performed and provided by the dental practitioner.
Any use that is not described in this manual as correct usage is considered as incorrect usage. The manufacturer
is not to be held liable for any damage caused as a result of incorrect usage. The operator bears all risks.
Soprolife today has not been proven to detect incipient or just beginnings caries.
SOPROLIFE needs to be used with a distal tip or a light shield in both diagnosis aid mode and treatment aid
mode. These accessories provided with SOPROLIFE enable displacement of ambient lighting.
• The light shield must be threaded on the camera distal part; with this accessory the dental light can be kept
in position.
• The distal tip must be put on the camera's head; when using this accessory it is necessary to move the dental
light in order to avoid light in the patient's mouth.
